Ghost Recon Wildlands is the latest Ubisoft open world game, this time with co-op multiplayer and the chance to play as the most conspicuous special forces in history. Let's see what the reviews are like in our Review Round-up.
There’s a rumour emerging online that Disney has approached other publishers to take on the Star Wars IP from EA after the recent debacle around Battlefront 2 and well, you know, the fact that’s basically all they’ve done with it. Here’s who we think should be making Star Wars games.

Insomniac’s Spider-Man game will feature a whole host of DLC post-launch with some fans outraged at the quick turnaround. Bethesda Studio’s Pete Hines believes that (some) games are best off played solo despite Fallout 76 pushing multiplayer content. Microsoft do not think a subscription based system will rule the industry. And From Software will team up with Activision to publish Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.

Game devs, publishers, pr people and marketing folks generally need to have good relations with Twitch Streamers and YouTubers or “influencers” (puke) as they are now disgustingly called. What a horrible word man. Influencers. Uch. No, mate. Anyway, yeah, they need good relations. That usually doesn’t involve calling them “f***ing moron”

For Honor, Ubisoft’s game about chopping and stabbing others, is now FREE for a limited time. And a lot of people have jumped in. Seriously. A lot. Also, Bioware is refreshingly calling it an Anthem demo, not a Beta, and we Xbox has shed some light on why they bought Hellblade studio Ninja Theory.
